Superb walks from your Braithwaite cottage…

Step out from your Braithwaite cottage and discover some of the
finest walking routes in the region. Barrow Fell, Causey Pike and
the Coledale Horseshoe, just a few possibilities and all
favourite haunts of Wainwright, legendary writer
who spent his life walking the Lakeland fells. Expect deep valleys
framed by majestic peaks, offering splendid views in every
direction. A spectacular viewpoint not-to-miss is Noble Knott, with
panoramic vistas over Bassenthwaite Lake and the market town of
Keswick.

Kick off those boots and enjoy refreshments in a welcoming pub -
you'll find a couple of good eating and drinking establishments
in the village. Other amenities include a well-stocked general
store selling all kinds of ingredients, whether you fancy a tasty
sausage supper in your Braithwaite cottage or a gourmet packed
lunch by a lake.

Nearby attractions include the Whinlatter Visitor
Centre, featuring a mountain forest crisscrossed with
walking and mountain biking trails, plus other activities like
Go Ape. Learn about the region's industrial
past at Force Crag Mine, restored by the National Trust. Or enjoy a
little culture at Keswick's lovely Theatre by the
Lake, its breathtaking setting fit to rival any top
entertainment venue in the country!

If this sounds like your kind of holiday, now is the time to
take a look at our Braithwaite cottages.
